Abstract: Seismic refraction exploration is one of the most widely used methods in engineering and environmental geophysics. As a simple, convenient and economical exploration method, it can provide the engineering geology with the fluctuation of the ground floor, the variation of velocity,and the variation of the diving surface. With the development of engineering geological and urban geological exploration, the data processing and interpretation of seismic refraction wave method is even more important. In this paper, we mainly introduce the development history and application conditions of the shallow seismic refraction wave method, and summarize and discuss the principle of several main refractive wave interpretation methods. On this basis, we compare and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various methods in the application, expounds the shallow refraction wave method at home and abroad in recent years, the development status and trend, and emphatically introduce the research focus as a method of refraction tomographic imaging. The research shows that when the detection depth is relatively shallow and the boundary of the interface is sufficient to smooth the angle of the interface, the most convenient interpretation method is the intercept time method; when the depth of exploration reaches 25 m, the t0 difference method is most applicable; the generalized interchange method should be used when the exploration target is buried deeper than 25 m. As its high precision, the use of refraction wave traveltime tomography technology can satisfy the near-surface strata with horizontal velocity changes, including the formation of large dip angle, concealed layer, interface fluctuation, etc.

Key words: engineering seismic, refraction, tomography
